Mercedes 230ce Resurrection Part 2 - Is this the outcome you expected? Never seen anything like it!

[@piceon2001]

I had one in 2002, possibly the best car I’ve ever owned. Over engineered, I loved and do miss it.

[@TC-qd1zw]

Like the Tiger Tank eh.

[@paul29961]

And the gauge of the plate they were made with wow!

[@separateglances1]

Actually remembered to subscribe and didn’t even need you to write the channel’s name when I was in the shop earlier 😄. Just watching Sol’s Revolver unboxing now.

[@tastyclassics]

Excellent stuff hope you enjoy the videos, cars and records are ace, I'll be watching his video shortly too

[@leopro9329]

I bought a mercedes w124 220ce about 2 years ago for £750 cut out one day and I could never get it running again fair play to you just found your channel great watch sofar

[@raymondpearce5245]

Best to move it on brilliant video

[@waynelittle5583]

Shame it is a kl car but put those alloys on the blue one new to your channel and fast becoming my favourite such an easy good laugh keep up the great work 👍

[@tastyclassics]

Excellent mate love to hear it, all the motivation I need!

[@darrellpalmer5902]

Sad times, would love to have seen it brought back but completely understand why you didn’t do it!

[@0795omega]

as an accountant no! if its yours and you love it and going to keep it yes!

[@twin40dave]

Definitely a lot of work in that, wise decision to pass on it ... 👍 😊

[@Hasdac]

Needs a lot of work, but you got the skill and space to do it..

[@habsom1406]

Oh dear, that's a shame and it looked so promising when you originally got it started. To think it could have ended badly on your first test drive out if the spring/suspension had let go, .....or let go further! Replacement spring cups are still available I believe but looking to the rest of the underside I doubt it is worth it. Guess it's had a good run at 180k, perhaps the engine and other components will live on elsewhere. Would be good to hear an update and what becomes of it. 👍😎

[@tastyclassics]

Thank you, it was interesting when it let go but it still drove OK just very low on that corner, the car is being exported now I believe where it may live on a bit longer somewhere that aren't as strict on MOT standards!

[@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge]

On the plus side, I just got my Peugeot 309 out of her slumber of 3 years recently, and found a rather big hole in the front end that I never expected would be that big. And frankly by how bad it looked I expected I have to find an entire section of that wing and weld it on. But compared to this thing? I think I'll just try and weld it now.

[@tastyclassics]

Absolutely love Peugeots, sounds like a plan, there was no good metal to weld to in this haha

[@aaaabbbb5413]

Hey, enjoying the videos, well done, keep going!

[@tastyclassics]

Thank you! I'll try my best

[@50l12]

What a tragedy after the optimistic last episode! Halloween horror show episode

[@richardjohnson3463]

Pity but 100% the right decision 👍

[@eddiezetlein6582]

A great parts car for someone.

[@100SteveB]

Poor old thing, looks like it's been trying to die for a while. I would not like to get underneath that car with my needle scaler, that is my tool of choice for finding out just how bad your rust problem is, it's very good at making holes in bits of body that only looked like it had a bit of surface rust! 🤣🤣

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

Poor Merc - That really looked promising but once the rust is in her you will constantly be chasing her every year ! A big lump of cash to get her tested this year and another big lump next year and every year after that - Disappointed but right decision!

[@anthonycurtis2774]

G'day. Watching you for the first time from Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia. Great video. Geez, I thought you were going to go the other way with your final decision! Does look like a lot of expensive work! Missed Part 1, sorry. Do you know how such a beautiful car ended up in such poor condition? What's her backstory? Thanks, Tony

[@paul29961]

Love the videos love the channel, but it really p’s me off when you do all that work to get it to run and only then put it up in the air to find the rot. Please do the under side inspections earlier. There will be loads of cars out there that were laid up because of rot, but were running great at the time. If you buy them and get them to run again only to sell them on for parts I’m not sure what you are achieving. Rant over. As I said love the channel. Keep it real. I have sent you a couple of quid for a coffee.

[@Happy_Buddah_Bonsai_UK]

Reg plate worth a lot of money though 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bazabiker4870]

But can only transfer it, if currently MoTed

[@paul29961]

@@bazabiker4870did not know that.

[@reneremmelzwaal2921]

the car is good for spare parts

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Guess we can tell which corner got hit!

[@stever1053]

I'm guessing it was from somewhere close to the sea, maybe a bit too close,🤣. Will it be exported as a cube, (crushed). 🤣. One careful owner (seven not so careful ones). I had a driving school and when selling cars the joke was one careful owner and 600 not so careful drivers.

[@shamusbarringer6863]

Rust in peace ☠️ better luck next time. 👍

[@colski222]

What a shame buddy but hey ho.❤️✌️👊

[@oldschoolanthems]

You need a vice grip garage sorta fella to help out with this old timer. why not get on the bleep bloop bleep and send a fella a message over the inter webs.

[@kelvingreen5750]

Its 08 model petrol parts would prolly cost bout 250 quid for the parts

[@procta2343]

Ah what a shame that could have been where it had a knock and been repaired, which has failed years later. To repair that, id have thought a replacement section from a full inner wing, will be needed. Which will be a pain in the arse of a job to do. Time to let that one go.

[@jeremypearson6852]

Get the large tub of Pollyfiller out. That things got more rust than the Titanic.

[@Parknest]

It is best for you to move it on. It would make a good project but it isn't worth it for you to do all the work it needs.

[@tastyclassics]

Agreed!

[@garrydavis3475]

Are you on a betel site

[@seewhathappensracinguk2331]

Couldn't believe the amount of rust on that 🙄

[@realvolvofreak]

That is a things woth old cars. Most of the time we want them to be on the roads but time and money investments doesnt make any sence to do that. Sadly for this old Merc. But hope some other more nuts guy can get it up to shape.

[@TerryLawrence001]

Rust free! but the rest of the car will cost money!

[@PeeJay7290]

Now that was a shame :(

[@tastyclassics]

It was!

[@aljaliah6868]

Surely worth more than £1500 once done up. I would think with all the MOT work done , it will easily fetch £3000-£4000

[@unclegargameldgargameld4888]

can't economically be saved ,sadly

[@petercarhart5923]

must agree, ok if your doing it for yourself to keep and drive but uneconomcal

[@speckledjim_]

Best you found out now before you got too invested.....

[@taxidude]

It's dead Jim!

[@djm9937]

Such a shame :(

[@TC-qd1zw]

German rolled steel is worse than Belgium steel of the 60s. The price they charge for old parts is a disgrace. Just like cloths paying for a name.

[@Happy_Buddah_Bonsai_UK]

It looks worse than the titanic ship 🚢

[@simonupton-millard]

Poor car still not back on road in 2024

[@brycechessum4684]

This is why I drive a Citroen diesel much better cars than the junk out of Germany and they are galvanised so no rust ever

[@paul29961]

Ha ha!

[@missionDan]

Criticism of your channel.. get rid of the long intro. Nothing worse than padding out content. Look at the top guys, they do a quick logo then on with the info.

[@liondecka]

I don’t agree 👈👈

[@Super-lucky-7777]

I agree lol

[@arthurkettle3010]

Nonsense.. all good fun...

[@Jako1882]

& you are!

[@tsimeone]

Nah the tension and build up and suspense is good

[@Mr24812481]

"that's normal"🫣
